Fatphobia 

Fat people are unhealthy and must do something to lose weight.

Normalizing obesity is dangerous, leading to other medical risks like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and many others

@waltercool I thinkk we all know being overweight is unhealthy (though some people may not be willing to admin it)... So clearly im going to disagree with the headline here that "being plus size is not unhealthy"... But I think this also misses the real issue... The issue is when an overweight person is in the media and people feel they have the right to point out their weight or attack them for it... that is absolutely uncalled for.

The issue is exemplified in countless examples. Most models are unhealthy because they are too skinny, which can be just as dangerous as being ovberweight.. yet where is the outrage everytime an underweight model is shown? Its the disparity that is the issue.

Of course, anorexia is also a dangerous health condition.
